If the current in a stream moves at a rate of 7 mph. If a boat travels 98 miles downstream in the same time that it takes to travel 49 miles upstream then the speed of the boat in still water is 21 miles per hour.

<h3>What is speed?</h3>

Speed is the distance covered by an object in a certain time period. It is also known as velocity. The formula of speed is as follows:

Speed=Distance/ Time.

<h3>How to calculate speed?</h3>

We have been given that the speed of stream is 7miles per hour.

Let v be the speed of the boat, and t the time to travel

98=t*(7+v) (1)

49=t(v-7) (2)

(1)+(2) => 2tv=147

7t+(49+7t)=98

14t+49=98

14t=49

t=49/14

t=7/2

Put the value of t in equation 1 to get the value of v:

98=t(7+v)

98=7/2(7+v)

196/7=7+v

28=7+v

v=28-7

v=21

Hence if the current in a stream moves at a rate of 7 mph. If a boat travels 98 miles downstream in the same time that it takes to travel 49 miles upstream then the speed of the boat in still water is 21 miles per hour.

Un estudiante debe recorrer dos tercios de kilómetro para llegar al colegio, si avanza medio kilómetro en bus y lo demás a pie ¿
Murljashka [212]

Answer:

Al estudiante le falta caminar \frac{1}{3} de kilómetro.

Step-by-step explanation:

Un estudiante debe recorrer dos tercios de kilómetro para llegar al colegio. Dos tercios equivale a la fracción \frac{2}{3} .

El estudiante avanza medio kilómetro en bus. Un medio equivale a la fracción \frac{1}{2}, por lo tanto un medio es la mitad de una cantidad.  Para calcular la distancia recorrida en bus se realiza la siguiente multiplicación:

\frac{1}{2} *\frac{2}{3}

Resolviendo:

\frac{1}{2} *\frac{2}{3} =\frac{1*2}{2*3} =\frac{2}{6} =\frac{1}{3}

Entonces, la distancia recorrida en bus es \frac{1}{3} de kilómetro.

Para calcular la distancia recorrida a pie se calcula la diferencia entre la distancia total a recorrer por el estudiante y la distancia recorrida en bus. Esto es:

\frac{2}{3} - \frac{1}{3}

Resolviendo:

\frac{2}{3} - \frac{1}{3}=\frac{2-1}{3} =\frac{1}{3}

<u><em>Al estudiante le falta caminar </em></u>\frac{1}{3}<u><em> de kilómetro.</em></u>
